Maye River Gallery
in Bluffton, SC, Features Works by Doris Shay
The
Maye River Gallery in Bluffton, SC, will present an exhibit of
watercolors by Doris Shay, on view from Jan. 18 through Mar. 14,
2010.
Shay attended West Virginia University where she received a Bachelor's
degree in Fine Arts. After marrying and rearing three children,
she returned to her artwork and helped to promote the Arts
in Clarksburg, WV. In 1981, she and her husband moved to
Hilton Head Island, SC. She immediately became involved with the
very active Art League on the island.
When the Art League
opened it's first gallery in Sea Pines, she was a featured artist
for one of their first solo shows. Over the years Shay has
had many one woman shows and remained involved with the League's growth
including chairing its first juried show which has now grown to
an annual widely acclaimed international exhibit.
Watercolor is Shay's favorite medium and the exhibit will be filled
with vibrant paintings of flowers as well as still-lifes and landscapes
of Lowcountry scenes and images from her many travels.
In Savannah, Shay showed her work at the D and B Shop on Bull
St. for many years until it's closing. Her work has also
been shown at Savannah's Elan Gallery (now the Chroma Gallery)
and the Sandfly gallery. She was among the first exhibitors at
the annual Art Fair of The Telfair Museum and showed with them
for 5 consecutive years.
Shay has studied with artists of national acclaim such as Judi Betts, Tom Lynch, and Jeanne Dobie as well as others.
